COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) -Courtney Paris had 25 points and 17 rebounds for her 81st consecutive double double and Danielle Robinson scored four of her nine points in the final minute of No. 10 Oklahoma's 64-57 victory over Missouri on Wednesday night.
Robinson hit two free throws with 18.8 seconds to go for a three-point lead, then clinched it with a steal and layup off the inbound pass with 17 seconds left for a 62-57 lead after Missouri's Toy Richbow slipped. Richbow also missed a free throw with 25 seconds to go and Missouri trailing by a point.
Paris, a 6-foot-4 junior, has 86 double doubles in 89 games - a streak that began Dec. 5, 2005, when she was a freshman. She extended her streak late in the first half for the Sooners (16-4, 6-2 Big 12), and sat out much of the final 11 minutes with four fouls.
Ashley Paris, Courtney's twin sister, had 19 points and 12 rebounds for Oklahoma, which has won five in a row and has a 22-game winning streak against the Big 12 North. Oklahoma overcame 40 percent shooting by outrebounding Missouri 59-27.
Ashley Paris had six points in an 11-2 run that gave Oklahoma breathing room after Missouri (8-14, 1-8) had tied it 44-44 on a 3-pointer by Alyssa Hollins with 8:38 to go. Missouri rallied again, with Jessra Johnson's runner cutting the deficit to 58-57 with 47 seconds left.
Hollins had 19 points while going 4-for-11 from 3-point range for Missouri, which has lost seven in a row and 10 of 12. Shakara Jones added 12 points and Johnson had 11 for the Tigers.
